Legal claims defining the scope of protection. Each claim is shown in both the original legal language and a plain English translation.
1. An information terminal comprising: a memory; and a processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute a process, the process includes detecting an error caused by or occurring in the information terminal, storing, in the memory, an error log of the error, initiating a restart operation, including a powering off phase and powering on phase, of the information terminal, searching, during the powering on phase of the restart operation, the memory for an error log, selecting an error log, and displaying, during the powering on phase of the restart operation, a message associated with the selected error log to indicate a reason for initiating the restart operation of the information terminal.
An information terminal (like a computer or mobile device) automatically displays an error message after a crash and restart. When an error occurs, the terminal saves an error log into its memory. During the subsequent restart (powering off then on), the system searches the memory for these error logs. It selects one of the logs and displays a user-friendly message associated with that log, explaining the reason for the restart. This helps the user understand why the device unexpectedly restarted.
2. The information terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the memory device is configured to store a plurality of error logs and selecting an error log further comprises selecting an error log stored in the memory for the shortest period of time.
In the information terminal described previously, the memory stores multiple error logs. When the system needs to display an error message after a restart (powering off then on), it selects the error log that was stored most recently. This ensures the displayed message corresponds to the most recent crash event, providing the user with the most relevant information about the cause of the restart.
3. The information terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the process further includes resetting, during the powering on phase of the restart operation, parameters of the plurality of functional devices based on parameters stored in the memory.
The information terminal, as described previously, also resets device settings during the restart process. After the terminal powers on following an error, the system resets parameters or configurations for various internal components (like network interfaces, display settings, etc.). This reset uses backup parameters stored in the memory. This helps to ensure a stable system state after a crash, resolving any configuration issues that might have contributed to the error and restart (powering off then on).
4. A method of processing information in an information terminal, the method comprising: detecting, by a processor, an error caused by or occurring in the information terminal; storing, by the processor, in a memory, an error log of the error, initiating, by the processor, a restart operation, including a powering off phase and powering on phase, of the information terminal, searching, by the processor, during the powering on phase of the restart operation, the memory for an error log, selecting, by the processor, an error log, and displaying, during the powering on phase of the restart operation, a message associated with the selected error log to indicate a reason for initiating the restart operation of the information terminal displaying, by the processor, during the powering on phase of the restart operation, a message associated with the selected error log to indicate a reason for initiating the restart operation of the information terminal.
A method for handling errors in an information terminal (like a computer or mobile device) involves automatically displaying an error message after a crash and restart. The processor detects an error and saves an error log into memory. It initiates a restart operation (powering off then on). During the power-on phase, the processor searches the memory for error logs, selects one, and displays a message associated with that log to indicate the reason for the restart. This informs the user about why the device restarted.
5. The method according to claim 4 , further comprising: resetting, during the powering on phase of the restart operation, parameters of the plurality of functional devices based on parameters stored in the memory.
Building on the previous method for handling errors in an information terminal, the process also includes resetting device parameters during the restart. In the power-on phase after the error, the processor resets parameters of internal devices based on stored values in the memory. This helps to restore the device to a known good state and potentially prevent the error from recurring.
6. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the memory is configured to store a plurality of error logs and selecting an error log further comprises selecting an error log stored in the memory for the shortest period of time.
In the error handling method described previously, the memory stores multiple error logs. The step of selecting an error log involves picking the one that was stored most recently. This ensures the most relevant and up-to-date error information is presented to the user after a restart, providing the most accurate explanation of the crash event.
